Chapter 52 - Hackers:Touch Not.
Amanda widened her eyes, waking up from her deep bliss. She looked at the increasing numbers of downloads, trying to reframe herself from laughing. She looked up. At once, she realized her blunder. She quickly composed herself.
"What you saw means nothing…" She tried to look at her secretary with a stern expression. But all she saw was the smile that reached her ear. 'This can't help.' "Ok, I'm just happy for the success of the app. And please don't let me hear it from other staff."
"I saw nothing, ma. What are you talking about?" Jane asked, looking at the surroundings.
Amanda chuckled, seeing Jane's behavior. "Naughty! So, why are you here?"
"Some people want to see."
"Who?" Amanda raises her brow. 'I know some people would want to bite from the hot cake. But I don't expect it to be this fast. It ain't 10 minute for goodness sake. However, they will be disappointed.'
"Some of the powerful organizations and families in vulture city." Jane tilt her head to the side, showing her blond hair, flowing to her shoulder. "I believe they are here for a partnership"
"Hmm… Tell them I'm busy today…" Amanda frowns. "And if anybody asked me about partaking in a partnership... Send them back."
"Ok!" Jane left Amanda's office without looking back. 'I guess all the dreams of eating from the golden goose are pipe dreams.'

>> Keep up the good work…
Emma looked at the notification without any expression on his face. 'I know there will be a reward for it. But I don't expect the Exp to be this high. I guess I'll level up soon.' he returned his attention to the huge screen. He watches as Zeus blocks various hacking attempts on the God App.
[[20, 000 attack defended. All location of the attackers had been discovered, waiting for your decision, sir.]]
Emma raised his brow, supporting his chin with his palm. "Do you find anything from this hacker?"
[[15,721 are coming from AI while others are coming from both joint and individual attacks. From the joint and individual group, nothing useful had been found so far. But Hades found the method of one particular person useful…]]
An image of a young man in his teens appeared on the screen with his bio-data. Emma looked at the details for a few seconds.
"Flag him and let him continue doing whatever he's doing. While the orders destroy their system and if they try again, follow the necessary protocol"
[[Noted]]
[[Commencing attack. Attack in process. 10 seconds to complete attack]]
..
"Shit!!! My pc is gone!"
"Fuck!" Smokes coming from the main frame server.
"AI can't withstand the attack. Too much… data. Cracking…. Defense… System crashes." Gasped. Server fried.
"No! No! Please stop! Please stop" sighed "I should have tried to hack that scary system."
"I'm finished. I lost all my data." Sob.
"What's happening? Tell me." Cough, Cough. Look sideways. "…We touch something we shouldn't touch."
"Scary!"
…
[[Attack completed.]]
[[Sir, Mis Amanda is calling]]
"Ok"
"Do watch how viral the app is" Amanda happily came from the other end. "Is my presentation ok, Hmm?"
"Yes. You did well." Emma rolled his eyes.
"Really!"
Emma slapped his forehead. "Yes."
"Ha! Ha!" Amanda giggles. "I never imagined a day would come that I'll stand in front of such an audience, Thank you." She said melancholy.
"Never mention. We help each other. When I'm nothing and left for dead. You stay by my side. So, this is nothing."
"..Ok… Is the 'Date' still on the table." She whispered, blushing, her face turning red.
>>I guess you just prove yourself dependable. She won't have accepted your date if you're such a loser. Worship me now for tuning you into a gem.
Emma rolled his eyes. 'Then I won't accept the date.'
>>You dare!
'You see, I'm your Grandpa. Why would I dare.'
>>Then, be ready to turn into a retard.
'Don't you understand sarcasm? I'm kidding. Why would I reject the date?'
>>… Speechless.
'If you're not going to accept me as your Grandpa directly. Then, I will shamelessly make you surrender.' Emma thought.
"Yeah. Do you want to go out on a date with me?" Emma teased.
"..You…Don't you know the answer already."
"I don't unless you tell me."
"Forget. If you don't know"
"Seriously! I'm just kidding. I'll tell you when I'm ready."
>>…Speechless.
"Ok."
"Any problem in the office."
"Just some maggot that wanted to eat from the golden egg."
"Forget about them. I will handle them"
"Ok. I need to go."
"Ok." Emma ends the call.
[[Master, your traveling plan had been made.]]
"Good"

"I know it." Emma walked out of his training room. He specifically made a training room for himself when he realized he can't train the punch skill in the control room. Besides, in the future there will be more training for him to do. Suddenly, Emma stopped and asked.
'Lily, I've assimilated and understand the first stage of the Tri-Ionization Plasmatic Fusion Energy. Why didn't I see the notification?'
